The link between the robot arm (7) and the two teat cups (8) comprises two arms which are pivotally interconnected. The pivotal arm construction (15) further includes electric motors (30; 33; 37; 41), with the aid of which the position of the teat cups (8) can be altered in a horizontal plane. <IMAGE>
